OralTidePRO™ mouthwash is a peptide based dental care product designed to help with the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease, enamel remineralisation and gingivitis. OralTidePRO™ mouthwash is fluoride free, contains no bactericide, alcohol or potassium nitrate, and is qualified by SGS to ensure safety.

Understanding Enamel Erosion

Tooth enamel is the outermost protective layer of the teeth. It plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health as it literally stops the inner layers of the teeth from being damaged. However, tooth enamel must be protected from constant exposure to acidic foods and beverages as these, alongside improper oral hygiene, can lead to enamel erosion. Unlike other tissues in the body, enamel does not regenerate naturally, making preventive care and innovative treatments essential in order to repair and regenerate the lost enamel.

How Does Enamel Erosion Occur?

Enamel erosion occurs when acids dissolve the mineral content of the enamel over time, leading to thinning, tooth sensitivity, and an increased risk of decay. Products that contain a higher amount of acid include wine, citrus fruits, sugary foods, processed foods and meats, so it is very hard to avoid causing damage to the enamel if you don’t look after your oral hygiene.

Other common causes of enamel erosion include:

• Poor oral hygiene (infrequent or poor brushing) and abrasive brushing habits (brushing too much or too hard)
• Acid reflux or frequent vomiting
• Dry mouth conditions that reduce saliva’s protective buffering effect

Traditional Treatments for Enamel Erosion

Traditional treatments for enamel erosion typically include fluoride-based toothpaste, dental sealants, and remineralization therapies. While these approaches help protect the enamel, they often do not fully restore its original strength and structure.

• Fluoride based dental products – most over-the-counter dental products contain fluoride, which does help to protect the enamel remaining on the teeth. it does not, however, help with any regrowth but will help with remineralization.
• Dental sealants – these work as thin, protective coatings on the back teeth to stop food particles, bacteria and acids becoming trapped and causing decay and erosion. They do help with prevention of enamel erosion but do not help to repair or remineralize what’s left.
• Remineralization therapies – these may include specific dietary guidance (certain foods can help with remineralize weak enamel as they are rich in calcium, such as cheese or milk) or using sugarless chewing gum to increase saliva and reducing the risk of a dry mouth, which can cause cavities.

How OralTidePRO™ Mouthwash Supports Enamel Health

OralTidePRO™ represents a groundbreaking advancement in oral care. This mouthwash utilizes a peptide-based formula designed to support enamel remineralization, strengthen tooth structure, and enhance overall oral health. It does not contain fluoride, as this is not necessary with the peptide combination used in OralTidePro™ products and alleviates any concerns about excessive consumption.

1. Peptide-Based Enamel Regeneration

OralTidePRO™ mouthwash contains bioactive peptides that stimulate the natural remineralization process, helping to rebuild and strengthen weakened enamel. Unlike traditional fluoride treatments, these peptides work at a molecular level to encourage enamel repair and fortification.

2. Enhanced Mineral Absorption

The formulation in OralTidePRO™ aids in the absorption of essential minerals like calcium and phosphate, which are critical for enamel strength. This targeted remineralization helps restore lost enamel integrity and prevents further erosion.

3. Protective Barrier Formation

OralTidePRO™ mouthwash creates a protective shield over the enamel, reducing the impact of acids and preventing further demineralization. This proactive approach helps safeguard against dietary and environmental enamel erosion triggers.

4. Reduced Sensitivity

Enamel erosion often leads to tooth sensitivity, causing discomfort when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods. The peptides in OralTidePRO™ help reinforce the dentinal structure, effectively reducing sensitivity over time.

Integrating OralTidePRO™ into Your Oral Care Routine

OralTidePRO™ Mouthwash should be diluted to 1ml of mouthwash per 10ml of water once per day.

In general:

• Use OralTidePRO™ mouthwash as part of your daily oral hygiene routine.
• Maintain a balanced diet with limited acidic food and beverage intake.
• Stay hydrated to support saliva production, which naturally protects enamel.
• Visit your dentist regularly to monitor enamel health.
